+
+#### How is conduwuit funded? Is conduwuit sustainable?
+
+conduwuit has no external funding. This is made possible purely in my freetime with
+contributors, also in their free time, and only by user-curated donations.
+
+conduwuit has existed since around November 2023, but [only became more publicly known
+in March/April 2024](https://matrix.org/blog/2024/04/26/this-week-in-matrix-2024-04-26/#conduwuit-website)

+
+#### Can I migrate or switch from Conduit?
+
+conduwuit is a complete drop-in replacement for Conduit. As long as you are using RocksDB,
+the only "migration" you need to do is replace the binary or container image. There
+is no harm or additional steps required for using conduwuit.

+You will need to reverse proxy everything under following routes:
+- `/_matrix/` - core Matrix C-S and S-S APIs
+- `/_conduwuit/` - ad-hoc conduwuit routes such as `/local_user_count` and
+`/server_version`
+
+You can optionally reverse proxy the following individual routes:
+- `/.well-known/matrix/client` and `/.well-known/matrix/server` if using

+- `/.well-known/matrix/support` if using conduwuit to send the homeserver admin
